“No matter how you look at it, there’ll never be
another year like 1961.” In this, the Seventy-fifth
Diamond Jubilee year of Hammond High School,
many activities were planned, varied and enjoyable
events, from Homecoming to the prom. Dances, par-
ties, soc-hops and semi-formals were presented for
the enjoyment of the students. From Hammond
High’s earliest beginnings, social programs have been
a very important part of school life.
“I could have danced all night” always describes
those special parties and dances presented by the
Association, classes, and by clubs. In each event, the
time was short, but full of enough memories to last
a life-time. The year 1961 was no exception to the
rule of varied, interesting and fun activities for all.

The 1960 Homecoming Queen ond her court watch the tense Hammond High-Roosevelt game. I to R Lynn Johnson, senior princess;
Jackie Dose, junior princess; Nancy Reitz, Homecoming queen; Wendy Smith, sophomore princess; and Phyllis Wood, freshman princess.
From the bonfire on Thursday night, to
the soc-hop after Friday’s game, the 1960
Homecoming celebration was one of the
most successful in the history of Ham-
mond High. A crashing victory over rival
East Chicago Washington thrilled stu-
dents and raised the Purple state rating
to a new high.
Flames from the bonfire silhouette students as the 1960
Homecoming Queen and her Court are announced.

After the game, a soc-hop sponsored by Student Activities was held at the Civic Center. Students paused for a quick breath
between dances.
After being crowned by Doug Trolson, Association president, Nancy
Reitz, Homecoming Queen, smiled happily through her tears.

The building was interestingly designed, due to Jefferson's interest in
architecture.
Being an upperclassman entitles
the student to take the Washington
Pilgrimage, which is highlighted by
visits to Congress, governmental
bureaus and agencies, the White
House, and other points of interest
in the East. Approximately 140 stu-
dents made the trip. Chaperones in-
cluded Miss Georgia Andersen, Miss
Zelda Black and Mr. Jay Wood.

Customs from other lands are the theme of the Christ-
mas auditorium. Georgene Piorkowski played St. Lucia
and Camilla Colantonia and Twjla Reed performed a
dance. On the day of St. Lucia, the oldest girl in
the family carries treats to the rest of the members
who remain in bed.
The entire vocal music department of Ham-
mond High combines voices for the finale of
the Christmas auditorium sesion. Thegroup
also sang for the Christmas Vespers on the
Sunday preceding the auditorium. Participat-
ing groups are A Capella Choir, Girls’ Choir,
Boys’ Choir, choruses, and the Glee Club.
Many activities filled students and faculty
with the Christmas spirit. The winter semi-
formal, the Christmas auditorium session, hall
decorations, home room parties, and the two-
week vacation all promoted the season’s gaiety.

“The Torchbearers” a hilarious farce, was chosen
as this year’s play. Much work and effort goes into
producing a finished production — by Miss Oza
Cunningham, director; committees and the cast.
The plot involves a group of wealthy amateur
actors and actresses who attempt to put on plays
under the direction of their friend, Mrs. Pampinelli.
The results of their efforts are the subject of
the play.

The Sophomore doss, sponsored by Mr. A. T. Bolt ond Mrs. Mar-
garet Mertens, presented the first party of the spring. Hawaiian
Luau was the theme of the dance, which was held in the cafeteria.
The sophomores danced, and were also entertained by a miniature
charmer straight from the beautiful islands of paradise.
These students composed the Oil Panel, which is sponsored
by Mr. Norman Beyer. Members speak on the topic of oil —
its uses, refining methods, history, and future. Seated, l-r —

One sure sign of spring was the appearance of
girl’s baseball. In their physical education c'asses,
the girls learned the fundamentals of America’s
favorite game; in balmy spring weather, they
put their knowledge into practice.

Dunes dut/ubuted at Sig {Living
Held while the 1960 Dunes were
being distributed, the Signature
Swing gave students an opportuni-
ty to have everyone sign year-
books. Dunes staff members dis-
tributed the books to the lucky sub-
scribers; in the bookstore, a few
students were able to purchase one
of the limited number of books still
available for sale. After getting their
books, everyone scurried around
having his friends sign his Dunes.
Remember ’way back when . . . ?
Below, left — The halls were jammed as these
students sign their friend's Dunes; every available
nook and cranny was used.
Below, right — Anyplace will do to sign a Dunes,
especially when the halls are crowded. If you
sit on a locker, however, you're not in danger
of being bumped.

The campaign was on! Posters, signs,
tags, and banners blossomed at Ham-
mond High during the month of March;
the students elected their Association
officers for the 1961-62 year. All candi-
dates who ran for top student govern-
ment positions were well-qualified, and
it was difficult to decide how to cast
one’s ballot. Aside from covering the
marks and holes in the plaster the
posters served an important function;
they inform the student body as to the
candidates.
Although not everyone can hold an
office in the Association, the entire
school can help make Hammond High
School’s student government an effec-
tive working body by giving it support,
suggestions, and encouragement.
After the primaries, the number of candidates was
whittled to six finalists. These smiling students relaxed
after giving their campaign speeches in auditorium
sessions. Front row l-r — Barbara Smith, Gayle Bohling.
Pat Harding, rear — Tom Doyle, Fred Foushee, and Jim
Vergin. Winners were: Jim Vergin, President; Fred
Foushee, Vice-president; and Gayle Bohling, Recorder.
Page Sixteen
Running for an office means lots of work. These students, well forti-
fied with soft drinks and potato chips, searched for clever ideas to
give sparkle to the campaign. In spite of the amount of time and
labor consumed, everyone who participated in the election agreed they'd
enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
AuotiatiOH Week was sueeess
Elected by the students of Hammond High, the Association officers planned
and suggested ideas for activities in the 1960-61 year. Mary Ellen Alt,
Recorder; Red Wilhelm, Vice-President; Doug Trolson, President.
While waiting to participate in the costume contest, these students primpeJ
and adjusted their “slightly different" styles Costumes entered ranged
from a hundred-dollar flapper costume to an old-fashioned bathing suit,
replete with long socks and cotton bathing cap. Old time movies were
also enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience at both auditorium sessions.
Association Week, from April 4 to 7,
was a smashing success. Tuesday was Old-
Fashioned Day, when students sported
costumes from seventy-five years back, to
commemorate the Diamond Jubilee Year.
Tuesday, purple and white were the
favored colors. Class colors were worn on
Thursday. Friday, carnations blossomed
on Sunday-best fashions; it was Dress-Up
Day. The Association banquet was held
at a popular restaurant, smorgasbord;
those who attended came back for sec-
onds, and thirds, and fourths . . . Friday
climaxed the week; a Bermuda soc-hop
was held at the Civic Center.
Darlene (alias Doug) Barton beamed coyly for the camera
after being selected os a charming entry in the Associa
tion's old-fashioned costume contests.

“Bali Ha’i,” the 1960 Prom, sponsored by the
Class of 1961, was eagerly anticipated by the
250 couples who attended. Girls busily select-
ed the perfect formal, the boys rented a tux,
made restaurant reservations and ordered
flowers for their dates.
The busiest day, however, is the afternoon
before the Prom. What a rush the girls go
through as they scurry around preparing for
a party!
Senior Jean Hoover typifies all these girls
as she prepares for her date with Nick Gas-
parovic. So let’s join Jean as she goes through
that hectic process known as “getting ready.”

Junior and senior class officers and their dates line up to lead the Grand March, which is the
highlight of the Junior Prom night.
The 1960 Prom was the cli-
max of months of hard work
by junior class committees
and class sponsors, Miss Mae
Kessing and Mr. Jay Wood.
No one who attended “Bali
Ha’i” will ever forget danc-
ing to the music of Pat De
Mure and his fabulous band,
or having dinner at Chicago
restaurants, and picnicking
the next day at the dunes,
even though it was raining.
Juniors and Seniors agree,
“We’ve never attended any
party that was more fun.”
No matter how you look at
it, the Prom was a big suc-
cess.
Sophomores Leslie Malo and Paula Van Horn serve refreshments to Jean Hoover and Nick
Gasparovic as the couple takes a break from dancing.

Making Sport History
1961 was a top year in Hammond High School’s
sports history; varsity teams took top honors. Our
football eleven won state; the basketball team reach-
ed the Sectional semi-final. Swimming, golf, wrest-
ling, tennis and track enjoyed good seasons.
Athletics is a word at Hammond High which
includes both the teams and the rooting sections.
This word has been built on a firm foundation of
good sportsmanship and powerful competition.
Names echoing through the years like Thornton,
Nelson, Cornwell, Papais, the Kucers, Krueger, and
Huffine are but a few who gave the Purple the pres-
tige that it enjoys today. Hammond High School is
proud of its traditions founded years ago and con-
tinued into the present-traditions which have helped
to make the 1960-61 year one of the finest athletic
seasons in the school’s rich history.

Even before the first game with La
Porte, area sportswriters lauded the husky
Purple crew as having championship po
tential. As if to live up to predictions
the Cats roared through a perfect (10-0)
season. An almost disastrous meeting with
Hammond Morton groomed the team for
the N.I.H.S.C. game with Michigan City,
which the Cats took, giving Hammond
High its first championship since 1937.

Members of a beginning swimming class learn the racing backstroke.
In their classes, the girls learn basic strokes and water safety precau-
tions. Other strokes, such as the elementary backstroke, crawl, side-
stroke, and breast stroke are taught.
Basketball is a feature sport in girls physical educa-
tion classes. A jump ball provides excitement in th s
game. The girls also participate in volley ball, base-
ball, tennis, and other sports. They also gained ex-
perience by refereeing various games.
As soon as the weather is
warm enough and balmy,
baseball is popular with the
girls. "It’s a strike!" groan
the batter’s teammates as
she swings and misses.
Better luck next time.

at the Dolton stone quarry early in
January.
Clubs Combine Talents
New clubs and ideas made the 1960-61 year full
of fun and enjoyment for those who participated in
a club or activity. Students who joined a club and
combined their efforts with those of the other mem-
bers gained valuable knowledge in working together.
Dating back to the early 1900’s, girls had their
own glee clubs and bands as did the boys. There were
exciting names in clubs, such as the Sphinx, Der
Deutsche Verein, Bohemian . . . and whatever be-
came of the Canary Club and the Undertakers. The
H-Men wore their sweaters each Wednesday. Some
of these special interest groups have changed their
names and their purposes . . . some have died out,
only to be replaced by others. Over the years, clubs
and diversified activities have become a most impor-
tant segment of the whole school life.

members spoke on club activities, such
as the preparation of the gift chest
to be sent abroad. A movie was also
shown. Each school year, the member-

aware of the important part the Red
Cross plays in the community. Every-

Although the Student Activities or-
ganization has no regular club meetings,
it is perhaps the busiest group at Ham-
mond High. Headed by Dan Lawther,
secretary of Student Activities, and his
assistant, Susie Peterson, this group has
a finger in almost every social pie at
school. Soc-Hops, Homecoming, plann-
ing and putting up the social bulletin
board, having charge of the winter semi-
formal, assisting in the planning of As-
sociation Week — all are activities of Stu-
dent Activities.
Cathie Hutton clips a story from the newspaper. She'll
post this clipping in Room 5; perhaps it will interest
some students.
Susie Peterson, left, ond Dwaynna DeGroot carefully
put up the February bulletin board, listing social
events for that month. Clever and varied ideas made
the board interesting and attractive as well as useful.

Advising and Assisting
Our primary reason for being in school is to learn,
to gain knowledge in how to be an' intelligent, well-
rounded person. Hammond High School, ever since
its founding seventy-five years ago, has enjoyed an
academic reputation of the highest caliber. Alumni
of our school hold responsible, respected positions
all over the country.
The most important part of the scholastic picture
is the teachers, the administrative personnel, who
make it possible for the students to learn. The pu-
pils of Hammond High are justly proud of the record
they have gained in scholastic achievements. Yet
all these distinctions would be impossible without
the guidance of the faculty. Hammond High School’s
faculty, in 1908, consisted of only eight members;
now more than eighty trained people, each special-
ists in particular fields, teach at our school. In the
center of all this activity is the group which makes
the education machine rotate. This group is the
counselors, the guidance group. These are the over-
time workers who patiently steer the students into
profitable, productive fields of endeavor.
Here’s a salute to the 1901 Hammond High faculty
. . . Supt. Hershaman, Principal Hill, and the teach-
ers: Miss Bassett, algebra; Miss Morgan, Latin; Miss
Wakeman, English; Miss Merry weather, stenography
and Miss Masepohl, German.

CUSTODIANS
Hammond High’s hard-working custodians
perform important duties which are too
often unappreciated by Hammond High.
Keeping our halls clean and free from
debris, cleaning and straightening class-
rooms, even cleaning the swimming pools
and preparing them for use — all these
duties, and many more fall to our
custodians. Rain or shine, summer and
winter, these valuable members of school
personalities find time to keep our
school a pleasant place in which to
work and study, seated, l-r — Rose Herms;

The merits and advantages of various colleges and universities were discussed by parents, students and college counselors
at College Night, November 8. John Kenny, of Franklin College, tells these students and their parents about his school.
Mr. Chidester, Miss Reichl, Miss Work
and Miss Harrold checked attendance.
Indiana University was the most popular school visited at College
Night; questions pertaining to campus life and courses were asked.

Students obtain, study guides and counseling
Students make use of
the library to obtain data
for term papers, themes,
and other writing assign-
ments which necessitate
research. All sorts of ref-
erence books including
encyclopedias, dictionar-
ies, magazines, and pam-
phlets are available. Mrs.
Jessica Rich, the librar-
ian, is always on hand to
assist.
In Room 109 are shelves of college catalogues and
pamphlets which are easily accessible and up to date
for ready reference. While waiting to meet with Mr.
Robert Brock, senior counselor, these students discuss
the merits of a large university.
Below — Dr. Wenonah G. Brewer, director on student affairs at Indiana State
Teachers College, addressed the Hammond High School students and facul-
ty at an auditorium session. In an informative and entertaining speech,
she stressed the importance of careful planning for one's future college
and life work.
The Orchestra at Hammond High is composed of 35 members from the band, and a string section. Mr. Kenneth Geckler
conducts the orchestra. This branch of the instrumental music department ploys for many concerts, civic and service clubs,
educational functions, and also for Hammond Public School Music Festival, which is held each year.
Qua ObckutML p/iaitim and p&ifrvuni
Mr. Geckler measures the tone
quality of Pat Harding s notes
on the bass clarinet during a
summer band lesson. Many stu-
dents took extra lessons dur-
ing the summer, when more
practice time is available. The
extra touches which add to a
musician's skill are taught; in
the fall and winter semesters,
too many students must be
given lessons, so these fine de-
tails which improve technique
cannot be learned.

A most important part of any high
school is its band. Too often, the splen-
did efforts of our band go unnoticed, or
are taken for granted. Members march
in parades such as the Memorial Day
parade, Loyalty parade, Chicago Christ-
mas parade and the Miss America pa-
rade.
Small groups of the band play for the
rousing pep sessions, giving our teams
that needed boost. They presented colors
at the beginning of football games, and
performed at half-time.
Many interesting activities are planned
by our band, which is directed by Mr.
Kenneth Gekeler. An exchange program
with the Crown Point band was much
appreciated by students and faculty of
both schools.
The band is almost entirely self-sup-
porting; they sold candy to earn money
for uniforms and new instruments. The
band is a deserving, worthwhile, and im-
portant part of life at Hammond High.
the pate, foJi ike band
Even though it was a sizzler, the band marched and
played in the annual Labor Day parade. Shirt sleeves
were the order of the day as members appeared for
the first time in the season.

At the Michigan City-Hammond football game, band members formed a block "h’’ and played "Loyalty” as the fans
wondered how precision marching is done.
Bcutd pejifajim at / oottaM gaum
Halftime shows take practice, and practice
the band does — cold or snowy. Diligent work
and repetition resulted in clever and enter-
taining shows, such as “Brigadoon,” Cinder-
ella, a political skit, and demonstrations of
precision marching. These skits were so clever,
that instead of warming up in the building,
students sat on the bleachers in order not to
•miss the show!

the first time, the Herald became a weekly
paper; added were many lively columns and
features which held the interest of students
and faculty. Mr. A. T. Bolt is the sponsor of

headed by Sue Selsor, planned an
exceptional yearbook, based on the
theme, “No matter how you look
at it, there’ll never be another year
like 1961.”
Such improvements as color di-
vision pages, larger underclassmen’s
pictures, signature end-sheets, and
even a new printer, topped with the
most unusual yearbook cover in the
area, make the 1961 Dunes one of
the best ever distributed at Ham-

To the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance/’ the class of 1960 marches into the Civic Center and
waits to be graduated.
When one is a freshman, graduation
seems but a hazy dream, but the dream
becomes reality when one orders his an-
nouncements, gets his senior pictures,
and finally his cap and gown. But the
climax — the highlight of senior year — is
receiving one’s diploma, a tangible sym-
bol of four years of effort.
"Congratulations, and best wishes for the future,"
is probably what school board member Dr. Henry
Eggers says as he hands John Tweedle the
coveted diploma.

Students Are Most Important
The most important sector of any school is its
students. Hammond High School is proud of the re-
cord its students have made over the years, in leader-
ship, service, scholarship and citizenship. This fine
tradition has always been in evidence from the first
student body to this year’s classes.
The Jubilee Year 1961, has been one of the school’s
finest. Merit Scholarship winners, top athletic teams,
outstanding publications, top debaters and speakers,
honor societies, have all brought distinction to Ham-
mond High School. This recognition would be im-
possible without the interest and intelligence of the
students. Even though everyone is not a leader, pu-
pils of our school conduct themselves in a manner
which reflects credit on themselves and their high
school.

elected class officers in the
spring of 1960 so that class
projects could begin as soon
as school began in the fall.
Seated — Dave Hugus, Pres-
ident; Lynn Johnson, Treas-
urer. standing, l-r — Dave
Mueller, vice-president; Mr.
Jay Wood, sponsor; Mary Jo
Zandy, secretary; Miss Mae
Kessing, sponsor.
Officers and class spon-
sors organized the seniors.
“Stairway to the Stars,” the
senior dance, was greatly en-
joyed by the couples who
attended. A committee se-
lected the class announce-
ments and name cards.
The Class of 1961 can be
justly proud of its record
in academic achievements —
seven Merit Scholarship
finalists were from Ham-
mond High. The class also
had many of its members
on athletic teams — champs
in football, tennis, basket-
ball, swimming and other
varsity sports.
Mr. Charles Sizemore, chemistry instructor, watches critically as senior Terry White
carefully cleans a test tube as punishment for gum-chewing in class — "Seniors
should know better," claims Mr. Sizemore.

Shortly before seventh hour, the outside of the
building is deserted and bleak, awaiting the flow
of dismissed students to rush out and dash for
the busses.
David Schmidt had the audience of students and teachers Ic&jghing
until the tears came with his hilarious interpretation of “Auntie Marne, "
Dave presented his cutting from the play at an auditorium session spon-
sored by the Speech Arts Club and the National Forensic League.
Seventh hour’s end brings students from their classes
to hurry upstairs and rush for home. Everyone is
happy that another day of school has been survived.

Two of Hammond's star senior gridders, George Pappas and Gary Eldridge, carry
jubilant Coach Bernie Krueger from the field after the Wildcat’s defeat of East
Chicago Washington.
Many seniors participated in the
varsity and intramural sports
program at Hammond High.
Outstanding performances by
our athletes gave our school a
fine athletic record for the 1960,
61 year. Purely for example, let
us take our football team. The
predominantly senior squad left
a fine sport record for the class
of 1961.

"We won!" Surrounded by his beaming team, Mr. Krueger smiles
jubilantly after the Cats captured the N.I.H.S.C. Championship.

CLASS OFFICERS
Many graduating seniors envy the fresh-
men because the latter have three more
years to spend at Hammond High. Fresh-
men are filled with newfound loyalty for
THEIR school, and are enriched with
knowledge gained in that first enriching
year in high school. The class elected offi-
cers and began class activities: front — Tom
Turbeville, President; Pam White, Vice-
president: Alden Gates, Secretary; Suzanne
Jonas, Treasurer; Mrs. Vera Erickson,
Sponsor. Absent — Mr. Dennis Burdock,
Sponsor.

In this book these magic words have symbolically
fashioned together, in myriads of fascinating designs,
all sorts of clever, unique, and sometimes amusing
books, which have portrayed life at Hammond High
School. Such names as Conkey, Postlewaite, Thomp-
son, Linden, Rand McNally, Taylor and DeLaney
announced printers who had a most important part
in putting into print, words and pictures created to
present yearbook readers with an annual condensed
panorama of life in Hammond’s oldest high school
which completes the celebration of its 75th Anniver-
sary this June. Significant, that this year should also
be set aside to remember and revere the life of a
great emancipator; and his major part in the Civil
War and its Centennial which is commemorated
along with our Jubilee Year.
Our Congratulations
to the Members of the
Senior Class
BOTTLING COMPANY
In East Chicago, Indiana
The young people you see in these pic-
tures are all on their way to successful
careers in one of America's basic industries
. . . steel. They decided (as we hope you
will decide) to let Inland Steel Company
help them plan their future.
Some are gaining knowledge and exper-
ience in special trades to become journey-
man machinists, carpenters or electricians
. . . Some are concentrating on certain
phases of steelmaking by working in the
open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or
the galvanizing lines. Still others are work-
ing in laboratories building a sound founda-
tion for a future in steel research.
Inland offers the high school graduate an
excellent opportunity to further his educa-
tion. Employees may participate in a variety
of on-the-job training programs, or they
can continue their formal education by reg-
istering for evening courses offered by local
Purdue and Indiana University Extension
Centers.
Plan now to investigate the unlimited op-
portunities for you in steel . . . with the mid
west's own steel company . . : INLAND
STEEL.

All the deadlines were met, the pic-
tures and copy written, and the correct-
ed proof was into the printer. The Dunes
staffers, long in need of a rest, relaxed in
the home of Cathie Cusick where they
took advantage of a few free moments
before they started work on the 1962
Dunes. From left to right are Sharon
Rosenthal, Senior Editor; Wally Strain,
A.d Manager; Sue Selsor, Editor-in-
Chief; Sally Reissig, I-D Editor; Cathie
Cusick, I-D Editor; Carol Sparber, Sen-
ior Editor; Carol Chidester, Club Editor.
Missing from the Photograph because he
was taking the picture was Alan Ruedi,
Dunes photographer.
